+======================================
+
+MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE support
+
+In order to make usnic btl thread-safe, the mutex locks are issued
+to protect the critical path. ie; libfabric routines, book keeping, etc.
+
+The said lock is btl_usnic_lock. It is a RECURSIVE lock, meaning that
+the same thread can take the lock again even if it already has the lock to
+allow the callback function to post another segment right away if we know
+that the current segment is completed inline. (So we can call send in send
+without deadlocking)
+
+These two functions taking care of hotel checkin/checkout and we
+have to protect that part. So we take the mutex lock before we enter the
+function.
+
+- opal_btl_usnic_check_rts()
+- opal_btl_usnic_handle_ack()
+
+We also have to protect the call to libfabric routines
+
+- opal_btl_usnic_endpoint_send_segment()        (fi_send)
+- opal_btl_usnic_recv_call()			(fi_recvmsg)
+
+have to be protected as well.
+
+Also cclient connection checking (opal_btl_usnic_connectivity_ping) has to be
+protected. This happens only in the beginning but cclient communicate with cagent
+through opal_fd_read/write() and if two or more clients do opal_fd_write() at the
+same time, the data might be corrupt.
+
+With this concept, many functions in btl/usnic that make calls to the
+listed functions are protected by OPAL_THREAD_LOCK macro which will only
+be active if the user specify MPI_Init_thread() with MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
+support.
